Maccabeus Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I own about ten different Bible translations, simply cuz I love the Bible, and like to compare if Im unsure about something etc. My favourite Bible tanslation is the RSV (revised standard version) published in 1946, now a days its somewhat obseleat, but it is made under (Ignatius Press) It means lots to me, cuz thats the Bible translation in which I first read the New Testament, so I know the nature etc of Jesus from that translation. (hard to explain) its kinda like when after that I read the KJV, I thought to myself (oh all of a sudden Jesus talks like Shakespeare) :roll: How about you (notice my Question mark button on my keyboard does not work)
Maccabeus Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 Bible translations I own: 01: RSV 02: NRSV 03: NIV 04: KJV 05: KJV 1611 06: NKJV 07: GNT 08: NAB 09: NASB 10: ASV
Fides_et_Ratio Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I like the Douay or RSV-CE the best. I also own copies of (many from when I was "church hopping"... each new pastor I met gave me a Bible... lol) -NAB -NASB -KJV -NIV -RSV -CEV -NLT -TEV ..and maybe a few more..
zunshynn Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I use the NRSV but I don't like it. It's a bad translation in my opinion. I also have the KJV and use it often.
MilesChristi Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I use the Douay-Rheims most often. It's definitely my favorite by far. I also have: RSV-CE Biblia Sacra Vulgata NAB KJV Confraternity Revision of the New Testament
cmotherofpirl Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 New English Bible I brought back from Brit-land. For theology I use the Navarre, and the Saint Ignatius study bibles edited by Scott Hahn for apologetics.
White Knight Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I use the New King James Version & Old King James Version. I'm wanting to get a New American Bible soon... so I can see scripture at its fullest. I always seem to feel like theres something more too the Bible than what Protestant Versions are claiming.
Norseman82 Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 NAB - 1970 CCD edition - that's the one I was raised on, so it's a familiarity issue with me. I also have a KJV I use for comparison purposes, and I also have a New World, which is the Jehovah Witness (mis)translation I keep on hand in case I wish to research Catholic-JW differences. Plus I have a version in Spanish and Polish from when I was more serious in trying to learn those languages.
Cam42 Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I use four, for the most part. RSV-CE, Scepter Publications NAB, Word Publishers Douay Rheims, online edition Latin Vulgate, online edition

[right][snapback]636934[/snapback][/right] [/quote] in my RSV-CE it says that the Douay Rheims version of Sirah is longer than that of the RSV-CE or any other, I'm actually wanting to get the DRV for a long time now for that matter. But the RSV-CE will always be my favorite.
Honour Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) I am in love with my NASB. (Ryrie Study Bible) It makes me sad to think of getting a new bible...much less a new traslation. I love the way the NASB reads! But I also own a NAB and I think I'm going to buy a RSVCE. I also have a NIV, NKJV, and a KJV...somewhere. Sometimes I feel guilty that I have so many bibles I rarely use, when there are Christians all over the world that would love to have just a page of scripture in their own language.

blutrane Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 RSV-CE for Me I teach conf. prep for my church, so the Religious Ed. building is collapsing under the weight of a million New Americans. Not to hot for that particular version and really not a fan of the notes made by the editors.
Nathan Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 For devotional reading: the Jerusalem Bible (1966). For serious study: the RSV-CE and the NRSV-CE.
